Giovanni war ein super Gastgeber. FĂŒr die Irritationen bez. zusĂ€tzlichen Kosten kann er nichts. Das hĂ€tte besser von der Agentur kommuniziert werden mĂŒssen.
We stayed in villa Raffa with our family whilst we toured Sicily in mid August 2024.
From the moment we checked in our host Giovanni made us feel very welcome and went through all logistics and attractions nearby.
The villa itself was beautiful and in a great location only a few minutes drive from the beach. The pool was the highlight of our kidâs break especially it being salt water and without chlorine was a massive bonus for the little ones. The hot tub was not hot but the coldness of it was refreshing as it was so hot that it was a welcome treat. Again no chlorine was used which was great.
However, what made our stay extra special was Giovanniâs hosting. He was always available, attentive and went out of his way to make us all feel welcome. Going as far as to bring us his homemade pesto and baking a lasagna with organic aubergines for the 8 of us. So yummy! I cannot thank him enough as he really did make our holiday extra special. Always laughing and joking around, what a great character. He really was a fantastic host with such a beautiful villa which allowed us all to relax and enjoy our much needed Sicilian holiday!
Many thanks

The villa is in need of some modernisation and decluttering. It was not clean in a number of rooms and smelled musty. It is also very dark Inside the property.
However there was a modern sofa , good mattresses and a smart TV, so it was very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, with great coffee machine options. Could do with a knife sharpener or sharp knives.
However the outside space with the pool and jacuzzi is really great. We loved eating outside.
The host is lovely. He made us food on arrival. We also had a fantastic meal cooked by him for our friends birthday. which we paid for. The host is quite a personality as well as a trained chef!
He was very kind to us and made it a special occasion. Food beautiful.
I would say that the pricing needs to be more upfront in the booking information as there are additional costs in the house rules section such as 200euros for cleaning and additional electricity use cost.
Overall I think it is value for money, but it would aid transparency to simplify the costings in the up front booking.
Our electricity costs were 50 euro for 4 nights stay with only one night use in the jacuzzi for a hour. This was a discounted rate and we were only around the property at night.
Go prepared to Cook at night because you would need to drive to restaurants. It is however a lovely place to spend time relaxing in the evening.
The Accomodation was fantastically located to enjoy the beaches and boat trip around Zingaro Nature Reserve
We all slept fantastic on a very good matters and it's not so common to sleep so well on a vacation holiday, the house was very clean and the owner welcomed us with a fantastic dinner, the owner gave us important tips how to enjoy our holiday at the best, the house is located in a very strategic place where we could reach in a few minutes all the main beaches such as.. Guida Loca, la tunnara, mazzo di Sciacca and the natural reserve lo zingaro...... I do really recommend for any tourists who wants to spend a great vacation in this beautiful place. It's just a hint ask the owner to cook for you a fantastic sicilian dinner, for sure you will be very surprised and happy...... Thank you Giovanni for having taking into consideration all our requests...
Kind regards from all us..... Salih Alahwal
Abbiamo trascorso quattro giorni in giro da Castellammare e Trapani e non potevamo trovare posto migliore per allogiare. Casa pulita, piscina pulita, letti comodi e comoda per ogni comfort. Lâhost gentile ci ha preparato un primo da accoglienza, molto gentile e disponibile.
La struttura Ăš situata in un luogo comodo per raggiungere tutti i paesini limitrofi.
Grazie ancora per tutto, alla prossima.
Der Empfang war Nett und Freundlich ,sogar mit einem Essen als BegrĂŒssung.Allerdings wurden wir mit einigen zusĂ€tzlichen kosten ĂŒberrascht,welche fĂŒr uns nicht vertraglich nachvollziebar waren.Das Anwesen war auf unsere Ankunft noch nicht vorbereitet.Der Pool war noch nicht gereinigt,die SpĂŒhlmaschiene nicht betriebsbereit,der Fernseher hat nie Funktioniert und das Gesamte Anwesen sehr unaufgerĂ€umt und nicht wirklich sauber.Der EigentĂŒmer erwies sich aber eigentlich sehr Nett und bekamen auch gute Tipps zum Ort.
Giovanni is a very generous and naturally gifted host who has lived a fascinating life. He met us late at night when we checked in with a wonderful homemade Sicilian meal. He showed us where to buy local food introduced us to local people and even secured my family fresh fish at the harbour and cooked it for us. The villa is traditional Sicilian and was very spacious for 5 people complete with comfortable beds, a pool and hot tub. The villa is in a quiet area and was in a perfect location for day trips to wonderful beaches and scenery. If your looking for the best Sicilian hospitality I highly recommend!
highly recommend this well equipped, spacious, authentic villa in a stunning location
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Gulliverâs Nest. The villa is very well equipped and spacious and we loved the authentic Sicilian style. It was very clean and comfortable - very comfortable mattresses too which is important for a holiday.
Giovanni is a very friendly host who did everything he could to make our holiday special. He provided an amazing lasagne and home made wine for when we arrived from the airport. Over the week he treated us to various Sicilian meals including homemade ravioli with stew and a superb sfincione - we felt we were getting a real slice of Sicily. He also took the time to teach us how to make carbonara one evening - it was a really fun evening and we are looking forward to recreating carbonara ourselves.
The villa is in a wonderful location- very near to castellmare del golfo but also in easy reach of many beautiful places. We enjoyed a lovely boat trip to explore the coast, beautiful beaches, trip to Erice and Segesta. Giovanni was full of information about the area and helped us with our boat and car rental - he really tried to make our holiday easy for us.
We highly recommend this place and hope to return one day to create more Sicilian memories.
Ă stata una settimana fantastica! Io e il mio gruppo di 10 ragazzi abbiamo passato del bel tempo insieme nella splendida localitĂ di Castellammare del Golfo in una casa che a portata di meno di 5 minuti dâauto aveva tutto: dai servizi alla spiaggia.
Ci siamo convinti di affittare questa casa un poâ nellâ indecisione data da qualche critica che il proprietario, Giovanni, aveva avuto sotto questâannuncio. Eppure ci sentiamo con forza di rimandarle tutte ai mittenti.
Prima fra tutto lâospitalitĂ che ci ha riservato Giovanni, senza mai sfociare nellâinvadenza: dâaltronde con lui i patti sono chiari se non lo si disturba per sciocchezze lui non ha motivo di fare altrettanto e non ha mai disatteso a queste premesse, in piĂč ci ha offerto degli sfincioni e un pesto particolarmente buoni che andrebbero sicuramente riprovati.
Lâacqua della piscina e della Jacuzzi al nostro arrivo erano cristalline, e anche se nei giorni successivi abbiamo avuto bisogno di un intervento per pulirle, Giovanni Ăš sempre stato a disposizione per ristabilire le condizioni ottimali. In generale, comunque, câĂš da dire che la pulizia della casa era impeccabile, non abbiamo trovato traccia di sporco in nessuna parte di essa.
Anche il deposito cauzionale Ăš stato restituito in tempi quasi record, dopo un giorno abbiamo giĂ ricevuto la notifica del bonifico.
Unica nota dolente per la casa, ma non per il proprietario Ăš quella del frigorifero: al nostro arrivo Giovanni ci ha mostrato con estrema onestĂ come fosse stato danneggiato da inquilini precedenti e come non raffreddasse in maniera ottimale, e quindi ci siamo un poâ dovuti arrangiare, senza particolari problemi.
Insomma 5 stelle ci sembrano anche poche, ma purtroppo, non possiamo darne 6! đ
The pool and outdoor area is as described and the area with mountainview is very beautiful. We a had a great week in Gullivers nest, but we were not happy about all the ekstra money we had to pay for ekstra cleaning and for power. We also had to pay ekstra for filling water in the spa even though we didnt use it.
The kitchen lacks equipment for cooking and the power went on and off all the time.
All in all we had a good holiday, but the price didnÂŽt match the house.
We greatly enjoyed staying at this property. The house is spacious, well-appointed and comfortable but we especially enjoyed the pool and the shaded outdoor dining area where we would have breakfast and lunch and enjoy the magnificent views of the surrounding area and mountains. It is truly a beautiful property. The host Giovanni was very friendly and helpful with regard to both the house and things to do in the area. On top of that, he provided us with a delicious lunch (with local wine) on the day of our arrival. I had mentioned one of our daughters is on a gluten-free diet, so he made the pasta GF. Much appreciated. During the stay he also delivered a very tasty local style of pizza. The property is very convenient to the city, which we enjoyed even more than we anticipated, as well as to the beaches in San Vito Lo Capo and other local attractions. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again if we have the good fortune to get back to Sicily.
Gulliver's Nest was one of the best villas we've stayed at because it was accommodating for 9 people and Giovanni was very willing to help. When we arrived, Giovanni provided dinner and fresh homemade wine. Not only was it delicious, but we felt like family. Giovanni went through everything in detail to ensure our trip was amazing. The views were beautiful and the pool and jacuzzi were refreshing amenities that promoted relaxation. The area is safe so there is no worry of theft and Giovanni was eager to answer any questions we had. The villa is close enough to the city for visiting, but far enough away that it's quiet. Giovanni was a gracious host and even provided dinner again on the last night of our stay. We had an amazing vacation that wouldn't have been possible without Gulliver's Nest.

La proprietĂ Ăš perfetta per il soggiorno di famiglie e piccoli gruppi di amici. Ă accogliente, perfettamente pulita, spaziosa e si trova in un'ottima posizione per visitare la zona nord occidentale della Sicilia. Ă dotata anche di comfort extra e davvero apprezzatissimi, come vasca idromassaggio e piscina. Inoltre l'accoglienza impeccabile del sig. Giovanni e le prelibatezze cucinate da lui sono la ciliegina sulla torta di un soggiorno perfetto.
Nel breve lasso di tempo di una settimana dedicata alla visita della parte occidentale della splendida Sicilia, abbiamo avuto modo di apprezzare la squisita ospitalitĂ del Sig. Giovanni.
Il villino messoci a disposizione Ăš costituito da una parte interna con camere arredate con gusto e originalitĂ che ripropongono accenni su epoche diverse sulla storia del posto e garantiscono buona fruibilitĂ sopratutto per le eccellenti qualitĂ dei materassi.
la parte esterna dispone di una piscina, una jacuzzi e uno spazio dedicato a parcheggio.
La posizione del villino Ăš strategicamente favorevole ad un turismo itinerante che ci ha permesso, nei diversi giorni di vacanza, di raggiungere agevolmente le varie localitĂ di interesse culturale, storico, etnico e archeologico.
IL posto si presta anche ad un tranquillo soggiorno; da consigliare.
We have enjoyed our stay in Gullivers Nest, located in a quiet environment close to Castellamare. The house is spacious and we liked very much the big garden with the swimming pool. Gullivers Nest is an excellent starting point to explore north west Sicily. At arrival we needed to pay cash a deposit to owner which was refunded with deduction of the electricity consumption during our stay a few days after we returned home. The owner Giovanni Rappa is friendly and helpfull.
Uno splendido soggiorno in una meravigliosa terra. La casa Ăš situata in una posizione strategica per visitare questa parte di Sicilia. Abbiamo avuto una bella accoglienza dal signor Giovanni che ci ha deliziato con prodotti tipici locali. La casa Ăš molto grande e dotata di tutti gli elettrodomestici oltre alla piscina esterna e la jacuzzi. Torneremo sicuramente in Sicilia
Wir kamen spĂ€t abends am Hafen von Palermo an und hatten kein Mietauto organisiert. Giovanni hat sich freundlicher Weise bereit erklĂ€rt uns abzuholen. Bei unserer Ankunft in Gullivers Nest wurden wir mit Sekt empfangen und bekocht, was nach der langen Reise ein angenehmes Ankommen ermöglichte. Nach dem Essen bekamen wir eine FĂŒhrung durch das Anwesen. Die Zimmer entsprechen den Bildern und den Angaben, riechen jedoch nach Feuchtigkeit.
Auf Nachrichten und Fragen bekamen wir eine sofortige Antwort . Giovanni ist zuverlÀssig und hilfsbereit.
Es gab ein MissverstĂ€ndnis beim Unterschreiben des Vertrages. Denn auf der Website war angegeben, dass die Kaution schon im Preis mitinbegriffen ist. Jedoch mussten wir vor Ort die Kaution bar bezahlen, die fehlte also noch. Schlussendlich haben wir die Kaution nach unserem Aufenthalt ĂŒberwiesen bekommen. Somit war das unproblematisch.
Das Haus hat unseren AnsprĂŒchen entsprochen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt auf Sizilien genossen.
Grazie!!!!
Ottima vacanza presso Villa Gulliver, dotata di tutti i confort ,la casa al nostro arrivo era perfe
